And I agree, but that's not the subject. You're not replying to my points.

Yes, I agree that one of God's commandments is to be baptized, and it is very important, but what I'm saying is you don't rely on works to get to heaven, only faith in Jesus Christ that He has the power to save you. Even if we sin (which I suppose would include not getting baptized when we have the chance), Jesus's blood covers it, and we need to ask for forgiveness. But just because we (Christians) sin doesn't mean we won't go to heaven; Jesus covered that. The whole point of us doing works for God and obeying his laws are 1) To be closer with Him so we don't fall astray. 2) To be jewels in our crowns once we get to heaven. Baptism is, like I said, and outward showing of your inward cleansing in Christ.
